Visa for graduation ceremony

Post by mauketawa » Mon Dec 22, 2014 3:06 pm

Hello friends, I need your advice..

I have completed my study in UK and already left the country. I intend to attend my graduation ceremony in 15 January 2015 and my student tier 4 visa is still valid until 30 January 2015.

With my condition, can I re-enter UK with my student tier 4 visa or should I apply for visitor visa?

Regards

hello,

yes you should be okay. there is no problem in you attending your graduation ceremony. if the border officials ask why are you coming here. provide them with the graduation ceremony letter or invitation and you will be okay.

however, if your visa was expired or etc in that case you would have to apply for a visit visa.

hope that helps.

Hi
Yes you can come back to attend your graduation ceremony.
However you may have to satisfy the person at entry clearance stage. I would suggest you to

Book return ticket
Proof of sufficient funds
Proof of accommodation (Hotel booking etc)
Ceremony booking confirmation etc
Mistakes are the portals of discovery.
Please correct me if am wrong
